bit good people
I think there is a lot of good in making the All-Star Team. People look at your career a little bit differently.
expected hit home proper
When you're going into a game, you're not expected to hit a home run every game. You're just doing everything proper with proper swings.
Doing something the right way is something I take pride in.
faded joys memory morning sad watches
While memory watches o'er the sad reviewOf joys that faded like the morning dew.
aaron coming guy miss
With Aaron back there, we won't miss a beat. We know what he can do. It's better than having a guy coming in from off the street.
dawning next passing seemed somebody unknown
Who's in the next room? - who? / I seemed to see / Somebody in the dawning passing through,/ Unknown to me.
cable channels deliver million networks people shows tougher viewers
I think its going to be continually tougher on the big networks as more cable channels do really interesting television. The big networks have a choice to make: Do we try to be all things to all people and get the shows that will deliver 20 million viewers a week? Are we the McDonald's of television? Or are we going to try to be more specific?
business forced imagine interested last maybe salesman sell time trying
I always just wanted to write and maybe direct. I'm really only interested in that. And yet the business that I'm in has forced me into being a salesman - that's the last thing that 17-year-old me would imagine I'd end up being. I'm uncomfortable trying to sell anything, but that's what you're doing every time you walk into a pitch.
books copy kept left mom secretly spent teenage ten
Before 'Veronica Mars,' I was not, and probably am still not, much of a crime reader. My mom left out a copy of 'Helter Skelter' when I was 10, and I secretly read it, and then I spent all my teenage years afraid of hippies. I kept away from crime books for, like, ten years.
characters coming fully invent love people scene trying
So much of what I do... is coming up with new characters and trying to invent voices for them, and to have people fully fleshed out in my head and to know who can say what in the scene and who these characters are... I love it.
books dated drew felt four love nancy three time word
I still don't think I've ever read a Nancy Drew book; I probably read three or four 'Hardy Boys' books when I was 10, 11, 12, and I didn't love them at the time. Even then, they felt dated to me, like the word chum - 'my chum and I.' However, the 'Encyclopedia Brown' books, I read all of them.
dictates driving joke moment rhythm
I like the rhythm of comedy in dramas, if that makes sense. In other words, I don't want to write setup, punch, setup, punch, where the joke dictates the scene; I want to find comedy in which the drama is actually driving the moment in the scene.
argue death died good love painful
I couldn't love a movie much more than 'Dazed and Confused.' I would argue that 'Dazed and Confused: The Series' would have been very much like 'Freaks and Geeks.' And that died a painful death because it was too good.
difference executives happiness
Your executives liking your show makes all the difference in the world. It's the difference between happiness and misery.
